Taylor Wimpey FD steps down

Housebuilder announces departure as part of a trading statement

Troubled housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has announced the departure of its finance director amidst further worries about not being able to raise an emergency £500m cash injection to rescue its balance sheet.

Peter Johnson is the latest casualty in a shaky sector. Taylor Wimpey has appointed headhunters to find his replacement.

Johnson, a former Taylor Woodrow FD who played a key role in the merger with George Wimpey to form the UK's second biggest housebuilder, announced the departure formally in a half-year trading statement.

The housebuilder has already admitted it needs the cash injection to stay afloat, as it sought to write down the value of its land holdings by £66om.

It is also in crunch talks with its bankers to seek waivers to its covenant obligations in return for raising equity.

Johnson steps down at the end of 2008, the company said.
